Chapter 340 Taking My Man
Emelie had scheduled a meeting with Colt the next morning to sign the contract.
best their
guests.
She arrived at the company and held a brief meeting with the legal and business teams. At 10 o’clock sharp, they headed downstairs to greet
Although Colt no longer dared to put on airs, it was essential to maintain proper etiquette. Just as they spotted his car, a voice called cut, “Emelie!”
Emelie instinctively turned to see Elena approaching. She frowned slightly.
Elena stared at her intently. “I need to talk to you. Let’s find a place to chat”
Emelie responded politely, “I’m sorry, Ms. Allen, but we’re here to meet a client right now. I don’t have time.”
Elena’s tone turned solemn. “So, you don’t want to talk to me privately and would rather discuss this in public?”
Colt had already stepped out of his car. Emelie glanced at the business team, who nodded and went ahead to greet him. Then, she turned back to Elena. “Ms. Allen, first of all, I’m at work. Please don’t interfere with my job. Secondly, I don’t think we have any personal matters to discuss. Please leave.”
Just as she was about to walk toward Colt, Elena grabbed her hand.
“Emelie Hoven, are you afraid to admit what you did? You asked William to send me back to Capebatt City, didn’t you?”
Emelie had anticipated that this confrontation was about William. She replied sterly, “Ms. Allen, whatever issues you have with Mr. Middleton are none of my concem. If you have any grievances, take them up with him..”
“You knew that William and I were together in high school! You knew I came back to rekindle our relationship! And yet you still interfered what are your intentions?” Elena’s voice suddenly rose.
They were standing at the entrance of Swanson Corporation, which was crowded with people. The commotion drew people’s attention.
Elena came from a wealthy family. She was usually a poised professional. Yet, she had lost her composure doe to William’s harsh rejection earlier that morning
Emelie scanned the area and realized they couldn’t let this scene escalate. She called out, “Ms. Lassman, please escort Ms. Allen to the conference room. I’ll be there shortly.”
Janelle stepped forward to guide Elena. “Ms. Allen..”
Elena shook off her hand forcefully and glared at Emelie “Are you trying to get rid of me? What? Are you afraid of what I might say? Now you’re feeling embarrassed?”
Colt walked over, his eyes darting between the two women. “Ms. Hoven, Ms. Allen, what’s going on here?
Suppressing her anger, Emelie said firmly, “Ms. Allen, I strongly advise you to leave immediately!”
“You had no shame stealing my man, and now you want me to shut up? Why should I listen to you?” Elena shouted, “Emelie, answer me. Are you really going to fight me for William? What do you want? Explain yourself!”
Emelie would be crazy to discuss this with her in public. This was utterly absurd!
Since Elena had already embarrassed her, there was no need to be polite. She called out to the security guards, “Can’t you see someone is causing a scene here?”
The security guards finally reacted and quickly pulled Elena away. Even as she was being dragged off, she kept yelling, “Emelie Hoven!”
Colt’s eyes flickered with amusement as he said, “Ms. Howen, it seems you have other matters to attend to today. Perhaps we should reschedule the signing.” Emelie felt a pang of frustration and quickly replied, “Mr. Reilly, there’s no issue. Since you’re already here at Swanson Corporation, please come inside.”
“Let’s discuss it another time.” Colt didn’t even enter the building. He turned back to his car despite their attempts to persuade him otherwise.
He never wanted to sign this contract with Swanson Corporation in the first place and had only been intimidated by William’s threats last night. Now, with a convenient excuse be made his escape
Not long after, Emelie was summoned to the CEO’s office by a call from Bryan.
Dressed in a suit, the stern–faced Bryan sat behind his desk. He leaned back in his chair and scrutinized Emelie with an intimidating presence.
“I don’t interfere in my employees‘ personal lives. But if personal matters start affecting work, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Emelie kept her head down. Helpless, she frowned in frustration. “I’m sorry, Mr. S
r. Swanson. I have no idea why Allen acted that way.” “That’s your problem.” Bryan cut her of “Now, Citadel Group has delayed the contract signing because of you. Am I right?”
